Bill > HB4213

This bill eliminates several existing restrictions on where individuals with concealed pistol licenses can carry firearms. Specifically, the bill removes previous prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons in locations such as schools, child care centers, sports arenas, bars, places of worship, entertainment facilities, hospitals, and college campuses. The only remaining significant restriction is for establishments with certain security measures. The bill maintains existing penalties for violations, which range from civil infractions for a first offense (with a 6-month license suspension) to felony charges for third or subsequent violations (potentially including up to 4 years imprisonment). For private property owners who want to prohibit firearms, the bill now requires them to have metal detectors at every entrance and on-site security personnel if they wish to prevent concealed carry. The bill also continues to provide exceptions for certain professionals like law enforcement officers, corrections officers, judges, and other specific licensed individuals who are permitted to carry concealed weapons in these previously restricted locations. These changes represent a significant expansion of where licensed concealed pistol holders can legally carry their firearms in Michigan.
